Summary
Brain-computer interfacing (BCI) could fundamentally transform how humans interact with computers. Current uses include prosthetic limb control, but future use could involve transformative technologies ranging from thought-controlled electronics to joint human-machine decision making. Realising these aims has proved difficult, however, largely due to major technological challenges in: (1) accessing brain signals in sufficient high-fidelity to serve as meaningful input to computer systems, and (2) delivering information from computer systems into the brain in a safe, fast and reliable way. This project will explore solutions to these problems, designing, developing and testing novel BCI technologies.
